You know how to use Drupal but do you know how to teach others to use it? We'll define a method for showing clients how to use the tools we build without freaking them out.
You know how to use Drupal. You know how to write code, build a theme, and SEO a site. But do you know how to teach others to use Drupal? For every site we create there are clients who must use it, many don't know a node from a block. After this session, you will be able to introduce clients to Drupal without freaking them out.
We'll cover:

A quick recap of the approach we used to replace our proprietary web builder system with Drupal for 70+ websites
A brief (bullet points) description of how one, large non-profit organisation approached the migration of 70+ websites site into a single Drupal codebase in a hosted environment (Cloud Sites platform in Rackspace Cloud). Architecture, technology and strategy will be discussed including a brief description of the top 2 or 3 pitfalls/challenges we faced/still face in the way we are using Drupal.
The Open Media Project is a collection of modules developed by the Open Media Foundation with funding from the Knight Foundation. It allows viewers to run an actual TV channel. That's right! Drupal users determine what airs on TV in several US cities. Think of it as sharing the remote of a TiVo with hundreds of your neighbors via Fivestar and Voting API. The modules developed for the Open Media Project include everything from encoding, Creative Commons licensing, metadata, and managing equipment checkouts.
This session has 2 goals: 1) Demonstrate how the Open Media modules extend Drupal to allow users to do everything from reserving cameras and studios, submitting broadcast quality video, and rating those videos to determine what airs on TV in several US cities. 2) Describe the some of the steps taken to develop the culture of collaboration that continues to drive the project beyond the initial $380,000 Knight NewsChallenge grant.
